Colours: orange, peach, cochineal purple, light blue, dark blue, light yellow, brown, ivory (8). Condition: missing slightly at both ends, some corrosion to browns, otherwise full pile with original selvedges. Notes: The pattern seems to be inspired by flatweaves as there are no colour contours. The silky wool and the fine, elongated knots are what i associate with weavings from the Karabagh area. Provenance: Brian Morehouse, Los Angeles.
